TARAS MAHALA It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of a beloved husband, father, family member and friend, Taras Mahala, on Wednesday afternoon, July 1, 2015 at Health Sciences Hospital at the age of 39 after a courageous battle with illness. Taras leaves memories of him to be cherished by his loving wife Anhelina, daughter Solomiya, his parents in Ukraine, and numerous close friends. He was born in Lviv, Ukraine on April 2, 1976 and moved to Canada in April 1999. Taras enjoyed being around those he cared about, and many cared about him.
